Firesand, a powerhouse in iGaming security, and RiskCherry, a specialist in automated iGaming certification, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver a unified, “one-stop-shop” service for the global gambling industry.

The collaboration bridges the gap between regulatory certification and cybersecurity resilience, providing operators and suppliers with a seamless pathway to enter regulated markets while safeguarding their infrastructure against sophisticated threats.

Filling the Security Gap in Certification

While RiskCherry is an accredited laboratory for RNG (Random Number Generator) and game certification, traditional certification processes often overlook the underlying technical security. Firesand’s integration adds a critical layer of “Offensive Security” to the compliance journey.

The Combined Service Offering:

• RiskCherry (Certification): Handles end-to-end game and RNG certification, leveraging AI-driven tools to deliver reports in as little as five days.

• Firesand (Security): Provides advanced Penetration Testing and Red Team operations—simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities that standard audits might miss.

• ISO 27001 Collaboration: RiskCherry supports the implementation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), while Firesand provides the independent auditing required for accreditation.

Efficiency in a Regulated Landscape

In 2026, as jurisdictions like Brazil, Peru, and the UK tighten their technical standards, speed-to-market is a competitive necessity. This partnership reduces the complexity of dealing with multiple vendors, ensuring that security audits and game certifications move in parallel.

“Security and compliance go hand in hand,” said Matthew Holloway, Director at Firesand. “By combining our security expertise with their certification capabilities, we’re helping businesses stay ahead of both regulatory requirements and evolving cyber threats.”

Rob Fell, CEO at RiskCherry, echoed this sentiment: “Our mission has always been to simplify certification. By joining forces with Firesand, we can now offer a seamless experience… making compliance faster, more efficient, and more robust.”

The Technical Advantage for Operators

By adopting this end-to-end framework, iGaming entities can achieve:

1. Reduced Friction: Single point of contact for both technical security and math-based game audits.

2. Regulatory Assurance: Documentation that satisfies the stringent ISO and penetration testing requirements of major global regulators.

3. Future-Proofing: Proactive resilience against account fraud, data breaches, and RNG manipulation.

SIS (Sports Information Services), a leading provider of 24/7 live betting content, has officially launched its premium racing and esports portfolio with Midnite, the technology-focused UK sportsbook.

The partnership integrates SIS’s extensive round-the-clock live events into Midnite’s “next-gen” platform, significantly expanding the operator’s daily betting opportunities across horse racing, greyhounds, and head-to-head esports.

A Breakdown of the Content Integration

The double-launch provides Midnite with two core content pillars designed for “always-on” engagement:

1. 24/7 Live Racing Portfolio

Midnite now benefits from a high-volume racing schedule that ensures content is available regardless of the time zone.

• Volume: Over 60,000 annual events.

• Global Reach: Coverage from more than 170 racecourses across six continents.

• Content: Comprehensive horse and greyhound racing, including premier UK, Irish, and international tracks.

2. SIS Competitive Gaming (H2H Global Gaming League)

A purpose-built esports product specifically designed for sportsbooks, offering high-frequency betting cycles.

• Volume: Over 225,000 annual matches.

• Disciplines: Focused on eSoccer and eBasketball, which are proven to resonate with traditional sports bettors.

• Integrity: The first esports product to receive the ESIC (Esports Integrity Commission) Gold Standard.

Impact on Sportsbook Growth

The integration of SIS content is more than a volume play; it is a strategic revenue driver. Competitive gaming content, in particular, acts as a bridge for traditional sports bettors, providing them with familiar markets (match winner, totals, handicaps) during periods when live sports are unavailable.

Key Performance Stat: SIS’s Competitive Gaming content has been proven to add up to 10% in turnover value to basketball and soccer verticals on sportsbook platforms.

Why the ESIC Gold Standard Matters

As the iGaming industry faces tighter regulations in 2026, the ESIC Gold Standard ensures that SIS’s Competitive Gaming matches are held to the highest possible levels of integrity.

• Trained Referees: Every contest is overseen by dedicated personnel.

• Controlled Environment: All matches take place in secure SIS studios to prevent external interference.

• Anti-Fraud Protocols: Real-time monitoring and reporting to deter and detect match-fixing.
